Michael Munding - Views from Nowhere
In the organizer's words:
Nuremberg artist Michael Munding painterly explores the iconographic, cultural-historical and sometimes political messages of postcards. For many years, he has been painting landscapes, monuments or masterpieces of art history, usually in large formats. The pictures are often coated with a high-gloss finish to make the reference to the medium of the picture postcard even more obvious. Some paintings have inscriptions and frame motifs that are also typical of souvenir pictures.
Photorealism, pop art, junk and conceptual painting play an important role in his approach. The found and cheaply purchased pictorial material tells us a lot about tourism in the last century and the tastes of the time. Munding's painting picks up where it left off in the 19th century with the advent of modernism.
For the Neues Museum, Munding fills the façade spaces with his large-format adaptations, which also and not least raise questions about the role of painting today.
